INSPIRATION BEHIND THE DR.2 SHOES STORY

How do you get into the therapeutic shoe business?

When you’re a podiatrist trying to help treat a diabetic patient with a particularly stubborn case of chronic foot ulcers, it suddenly dawns on you about the genuine need for comfortable, properly-fitted footwear.

Your heart goes out to those who suffer from foot-pain associated with diabetes, arthritis and other foot-related injuries.  Heavy, ill-fitted shoes hurt.

That observation led to the origins of Dr.2 Shoes, the iconic brand of diabetic shoes designed by a leading American podiatrist and sold and marketed by Preferred Medical Supply Company.

We understand the importance of protective footwear for people with diabetes and for the elderly who may have circulatory problems that impair their ability to sense danger underfoot.  Our goal is to continue to develop, research and design the lightest, best-fitting, most comfortable wearing therapeutic shoes on the market.

Painless shoes.  Fit before fashion.  And the rest is diabetic shoe history with the Dr.2 Shoes brand today having a loyal legion of raving fans across North America.

What makes Dr.2 Shoes different?

What you will notice about Dr.2 Shoes footwear is the marriage of lightweight comfort and orthotic protection with contemporary design.  Signature features include high, wide toe boxes to limit forefoot pressure, firm heel counters for extra stability and inserts with extra arch padding that mold to the foot like a custom-fitted shoe.

Here is diabetic-approved footwear you can trust and confidently recommend to your patients, assured these will be the lightest, most comfortable casual shoes, utility boots or athletic shoes, bar none.
